Cold Route, 2023
Video 4K, color, sound, 13 min.

What are the relationships between food logistics and climate change? The video takes the audience along the cold chain, on a journey during which perishable products are moved from the Iberian Peninsula towards the north. Once picked up, fruits and vegetables are immediately moved both in industrial manufacturing plants and photographic studios, as part of a process of continuous physical and visual movement.
